well dug up silverreel...
I like the
"go, little record go"
Its has a feel similar to "little eiffel"..
maybe Frank thought this would be his "Eiffel tower", or "Eiffel Tower high"...
the those who paid and outer space refers to the planet of sound song...
"I met a guy in a rover,
he said its one more over"..
Gets me everytime...
so maybe the first 3 songs are a trilogy.
Thus in the first song ("twice occurred")... apart from itself..
Im clutching

Frank Black posts on this website
why doesn't he give us the answer?
because he loves this shit
I especialy loved the bit everywordmeans came up with
transcribing the solo, twice D C#, Washington DC! A little far fetched, but it makes sense to me!
Everywordmeans?
(which could be a cool undercover name for Frank saying
that every word in his lyrics means something, which doesn't have to be the case at all)

Yeah, good call on the "twice occurred". He has several other songs that are or appear to be sequels. Mullholland/St. Francis. Velouria/Velvety. Coastline/Golden Shore (?). Subbacultcha/Nadine.

"Go, little record go"
At the time of its construction in 1889, the Eiffel Tower was the tallest structure in the world.
A minor record now i guess. |

there is a song by the australian band Custard that goes "it's because she works that we might not go away on holiday..." -(the new mathew) apparently, Custard toured with frank black in the early 90's...

"We went to the store / and got something great / that samples this song / from Washington State."
That seems straightforward enough. What songs from Washington State were recognisable and important enough in 1991 that they would be sampled by someone else? Wasn't Nirvana around at that point? Perhaps Frank went out and bought a copy of 'Call It What You Want' by 'Credit To The Nation', which samples the beginning of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'? And perhaps this is the record he is hoping will "go"; and perhaps it was named by some guy named Joe; and certainly a song which begins with a sample from something else is "fooling the world".
Or, since it hadn't been released or probably even written by the time TLM came out, perhaps not.
Oh well. |

So, I lined up the words of the two verses beside each other, kind of like this:
why...........go
do.............little
cupids.......record
and...........go
etc ...
Then I read the first word of the first verse, followed by the first word of the second verse, then the second word of the first verse, then the second word of the second verse, etc.
I got kind of excited when it said "Why go, do little..."
I mean, "do little" ... coincidence?
Probably.
Unfortunately, while the first four words following this pattern make some kind of sense, and refer to their earlier album, it doesn't seem to continue on to reveal any deeper meanings of life or anything. But for a minute there I thought I was on the right track..
I dunno, maybe those four words are enough.

Hi, Matt...'do....little', that's a new one on me!!
So, it's like they're saying....
why go-why split the band up....
do little...because they'll never achieve the heights of Doolittle again!
cupids record-they're a cute college band, in the studio!!
and go-band split!
....Er, or something! :D

word are the letters of the words, said electrically played.
I think that refers to the chords, notes etc played on the guitar to play the actual songs. hence, the letters of the words are the chords and notes. |

"it too fails to reach the same level of brilliance..."??
what the fruit is he on about ?!?
you can't compare those, it's not an ordinal fookin' scale, it's an entirely different dimension...
I love bossa and tlm but I could/would never compare it against surfer or doolittle, it's as if I were at a dinner describing an excellent main course by comparing it to a delicious dessert or something... "well... it doesn't reach the sweetness... so I wouldn't order that..."

| It really riles me when people talk about 'the softer sound of Bossanova'. Sure, 'Ana' and 'Havalina' are pretty mellow, but on the other hand... 'Rock Music'? 'Velouria'? 'Hang Wire'? 'The Happening'? For heavens sake... |

Actually, Trompe le monde is a mistake. This expression doesn't exist in French.
Charles must have thought about the expression: Trompe la mort which indeed exists.
Trompe Le MOnde means nothing in french. |

Sorry to disagree, but it does. Just because it's not an expression doesn't mean that these words don't exist and can't be used in that combination. They do mean "Fool the world".
It's like saying that "Dog in the sand" doesn't mean anything in English because it's not a proverb.
It's been suggested that it was a wordplay on "trompe-l'oeil", hence the eyeballs on the artwork. Don't know, maybe Simon Larbalestier could tell us if it was meant that way.

Yes. I stand corrected. It is not an expression in French. I meant to say that it was a play on the expression, which is also an expression in English, at least in a discussion of painting. The title was a suggestion of the Pixies manager, Ken Goes.

In fact there's a popular French expression, "tromper son monde", which means something like "to fool / deceive the others" (often to seduce or reassure them). For instance, politicians "trompent leur monde" by looking cooler or more competent than they really are.

Frank said in an interview a long time ago that it was a play on that expression, "trompe l'oeil"
